FWIW, I took an approach based on a tip in Foxpro Advisor. I have a checkbox for 'continuous add mode'. When the user is in a grid and it is checked, I automatically add a new record when they get to the end of a line. If they click on save or short-cut a save, the same thing happens. I accomplish this by putting all the code to check the conditions in the form's custom save method and in the last input box of the grid I just call the save method. The save and add is only done automatically if the continuous add mode is selected, otherwise the user has to click the save button as per a "normal" entry. This makes heads down entry really "intuitive" - at least for my users. HTH
